Art expert Ariel Bassano with the Nazi-looted 'Portrait of a Lady' after it was retrieved by Argentine authorities from the daughter of an SS officer in the resort of Mar del Plata AFP Argentine authorities recovered an 18th century painting stolen by Nazis from a Dutch Jewish art collector over a week after it appeared in a property ad only to suddenly vanish. The "Portrait of a Lady" by Italian baroque painter Giuseppe Ghislandi was missing for eight decades before being photographed hanging in the home of the daughter of a senior SS officer, who fled to Argentina after World War II. Prosecutors said Wednesday that the woman's lawyer returned the work after a major hunt for it that made headlines worldwide.
